Explanation
A skilled master who makes various things by hand is called a hunarmand (craftsman). Crafts have been developed in Uzbekistan since ancient times, and each place is famous for its own. The textbook also gives information about ganchkorlik (plaster carving), kandakorlik (metal engraving) and quroqchilik (patchwork). We read our own text and find titles for its parts.
Worked examples
